You know what made me more of a morning person? Parking my car in a school zone. If I don't move it by 07:00, I'll get a $45 ticket. But parking the car there is great because I ne…

I get that author's point, but do you REALLY need a dependency module that tells you the type of something? That's not a Lego block; that's an excuse.

+1. To most people, a (computer, laptop, tablet, phone, ...) is a tool. For many, it's a tool that lets them use Facebook/Instagram/Word/Excel; they don't care HOW or WHAT they use…

Can't upvote CloudCraft high enough. I used it for a toy project I was asked to spec out and it is SO much better than Gliffy, ESPECIALLY on an iPad. You've done good, kid.

Yeah...I wish I knew that when I financed my Accord. It just so happens that my Dad is paying only ~$150/mo more on his loan for his 2011 535i than I am for my 2012 Accord EX-L (in…

I too have read Mustache. His articles are good, but his ideology has always been achieving financial independence from complete (or mostly complete) detachment from materialistic …

Yes, Jane Street uses OCaml for their trading systems but we also use(d?) F# for some (very important) odds and ends.

Wow. That's crazy. I too agree that these cars should just be leased.

You're right. I'm not saying that the issue in serious. Minorities in tech is a HUGE issue at the moment, as it should be. The more smart and driven people that pursue this crazy f…

I'm always wary of articles or tweet-blogs (i guess this is a thing now) where race is the primary conversation topic. I'm Latino and also happen to be very black (or very, very bl…

I LOVE F#. I wish I could use it more often. I haven't used it since I worked at Jane Street three years ago, and Jet.com is the only other place that's using it seriously at the m…

I think a bootcamp is pretty useful for someone who has no experience in development and wants to obtain it in a relatively short time frame. Teachers come to mind here. Many of th…

Here's the biggest reason why I don't mind taking out a loan on a car, one of the most aggressive and most expensive depreciating assets out there: Comfort. Immense comfort. I spen…

Don't show that to the Universal Basic Income diehards...

I hope they use these for more S-Class UberBlack service. I wanted to get driven in one for our anniversary but found it difficult.

Eh; Reddit has a huge user base but many of them are cheap and Reddit advertising is more of a niche than a household name at this point. Additionally, Facebook is much much MUCH m…

I don't have a lot of skin in the microservices architecture game, but my gut intuition tells me that in most cases, it's better to build your business on a monolith for simplicity…

> I was amazed at the speed packets fire when you program it yourself in C. For sure. There's no better way of learning the protocols than writing your own network sniffer. Even wr…

tcpdump is fantastic; I often use it in lieu of Wireshark if I can. It's also a bit faster, which kind-of doesn't matter for me since I usually have it output the trace to a file a…

I've used and help maintain Lync and OCS, its predecessor. Both were significantly more bloated, difficult to navigate and laggy than Slack is. Additionally, you need SO MUCH infra…

I feel you. You should consider trying out Namely (namely dot com)! Our payroll product and HCM software is easy to use, looks great and might be more affordable for your company t…

Great response. As someone trying to make the jump to the senior level, this also works on the systems side as well.

Yelp was really shitty for treating her this way, but the decisions she made to move to SF and work for Yelp are HIGHLY questionable. Taking out a loan at 300% interest while FULL …
